Explanation:
In order to create image files of an existing system for duplicating or backup purposes, you should
use ImageX.
ImageX is a command-line tool that is used to create, modify, and apply file-based disk images for
rapid deployment. It works with Windows image (.wim) files for copying to a network, or it can work
with other technologies that use .wim images, such as Windows Setup, Windows Deployment
Services (Windows DS), etc. ImageX works at the file level, it provides the following capabilities:
More flexibility and control over the deployed media.
Rapid extraction of images to decrease setup time.
Reduced image size due to “single instancing,” which means that the file data is stored separately
from the path information. This enables files that exist in multiple paths or in multiple images to be
stored once and shared across the images. ImageX does not perform an all-inclusive overwrite of the
contents of your drive. An administrator can selectively add and remove information.
The ability to work across any platform supported by Windows.
Two different compression algorithms, Fast and Maximum, to reduce your image size further. The
ability to handle an image file like a directory. For example, an administrator can add, copy, paste,
and delete files from a file management tool, such as Windows Explorer.D is incorrect. Setup Manager is a wizard used to create a custom answer file. It enables
you to set many of the answer file parameters that customize and automate installation. Using this
wizard, you can reduce chances of typographical errors that you can make while using a text editor.A is incorrect. Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) is a Windows Server 2008
tool to create Windows Server 2008 answer files. It saves unattended answer files in XML format. By
using Windows SIM, administrators can verify that an unattended answer file actually produces the
desired result. Windows SIM is included with the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows
AIK).C is incorrect. BCDEdit is a command-line tool for managing BCD stores. It can be used for
creating new stores, modifying existing stores, adding boot menu options, etc. BCDEdit replaces
Bootcfg.exe, which was used with earlier versions of Windows.
